Created In Fire (Contemporary Romance, Humor, Family and Relationships) Book

Despite a dating past littered with the broken hearts of women they both knew and worked with, all 34 yr old Michael Larson sincerely wants is to marry Carrie Larson, the mother of his future child, and love them both forever. The other women were had been at best practice, and at worst merely substitutes. They were partly Carrie's fault anyway. Instead of dating him, Carrie married not one, but two other men, and all because of something that allegedly happened in college which Michael can't even remember. Dating other women was all that kept him sane while he waited three years for her to come to her senses. Even though he truly wants the baby they created in the fire between them, Michael really doesn't care how or why Carrie is now in his life and his bed. His sole focus is how to keep her there no matter what it takes. He definitely doesn't have any intentions of honoring the prenuptial agreement with the divorce clause she'd insisted on. Michael won't—can't—let her go. He'll never survive if he loses the only chance with Carrie she's ever given him.

At 32 years old, Carrie Addison wonders how many more times she's going to let Michael Larson into her bed to wreck sexual havoc in her life. He is the most talented artist she's ever known, but also the most frustrating, womanizing man. Maybe her two divorces were a hard way to learn that other men couldn't provide enough distraction to cure herself of her desire for him. That's still no reason to become her mother and give up control of her life to a man who will make her miserable over and over. There is no doubt in her mind that agreeing to marry Michael is a mistake of biblical proportions, but all she can do for the rest of the pregnancy is cope because she promised Michael legal custody of their child. Even if she is stupid enough to love him, she was wise to make him sign a contract stipulating that their bad situation wouldn't last forever. Carrie flatly refuses to live like that. She will give Michael the child they created, but she is never giving him her heart to break again.
